jon: so that's senator reid's view, what about the republican point of view? what do we know about that? and also i heard something about a vip phone call? >> reporter: that's right. we know the president of the united states and the speaker of the house, john boehner, had a phone call for about 15 minutes last night. speaker boehner described it as cordial, direct and we've heard that, essentially, you know, 15-minute conversation between the president that that gives them a lot of time to talk about some things. in public, though, republicans are sounding a little bit more frustrated in trying to force the president to step up. take a listen. >> he's got a responsibility to everyone to work out an agreement, and that means he's got to come up with something that can get through a republican house of representatives. so we're waiting on the president. we can still get there, but he's going to have to lead. >> reporter: so keep in mind there's a lot of tough talk in public, a lot of the important work is being done in private including private conversations, a

that's colbert territory, that's harry reid, that's what they say. that's nonsense. people take the pledge. the reason why most republicans and a handful of democrats take the pledge is that they don't intend to raise taxes. >> wouldn't it be good if our leaders were not signing pledges like this and actually voted with what their stilts wanted? >> absolutely. yeah. it would be good. it's funny what an election will do. a lot of republicans are seeing the handwriting on the wall instead of the handwriting on a pledge. they'll realize this election in november was not about upholding your pledge to grover norquist. it was about upholding your responsibility to protect the middle class. i'm glad more and more republicans are recognizing the need to join democrats in compromise and consensus. we want deficit reduction that is big, bold, but balanced. as long as more republicans can agree with us on that we're willing to compromise with them and meet them halfway. >> sir, real quickly while i have you, it was announced in the last hour that the president is going to be h
